Applause!! to all the performers who entertained flat A.B. and flat S. stanley + madison, rebekah, hannah, kennedy, aliyah and I this afternoon in des moines iowa at the civic center!!! their production of the play, based on the book, was very entertaining and educational. we all had a great time! we started off at 9:30 and stopped by mc donalds in boone for some lunch and some inside heart raising stress from sitting wearer-offers....it worked! then off to the civic center. the girls thought we were lost after i missed the parking ramp enterance but we found a nice spot a 1/2 block away. we ended up in the middle of row 5-perfect for viewing the show. the place was full of anxious youngsters waiting for a musical story. it was worth the wait! the facitity doesnt allow cameras or recorders once the show starts so we snapped only a few before they started. 5, well behaved girls sat in awe as the curtian went up....anticipating the next part of the drama.......jumping at the end when they shot confetti to signify the end of the show. all had raves! stopping off for an ice cream treat and to exercise a bit more was the final treat for the trip. we returned to daycare by 4:30pm. stanley A. and L. were waiting to hear about the show. then, with a final farewell-the 4 were split up as A. went home to live with aliyah. happy life stanley A.! happy life!!
